Looking for a little inspiration? Every Thursday, Laura Purdie Salas runs a writing prompt called Fifteen Words or Less Poems. The idea is you view the photo of the week,t hen write your response in a poem of fifteen words or less. It’s hard – but it’s also a great exercise of one’s poetic skills.
Here’s my poem for this week:
Would you prefer
everlasting
flowers made of metal,
or real blooms
lasting just one day?
You can see the photo that inspired this poem, and have a go for yourself here.

I think that’s a terrific response to the photo, Sally! Very thought provoking (I’d go for the transient beauty).
